There are a few classics I would recommend in the magical department. Magic Knights Rayearth and Cardcaptor Sakura come to mind, but I recommend using the Japanese for MKR (The English isn't very well done). Slightly different but still magical are Kanon and AIR. Both are technically -shojo- but each has a paranormal or magical theme behind it. Kanon is more of a mystery until halfway through it when you start getting hints at what's so strange in that universe. AIR pretty much tells you from the 2nd episode. Both are very, very, heart rending, by the way. Also, AIR is 13 episodes long with a movie, and Kanon is 26 episodes long.

And the deal closer:

AIR did so incredibly well in 2005 that they made a Blu-Ray box set of it. How many animes can say they have a Blu-Ray edition?
